Someone wanna clarify "Mainland" for me? (:
From what I know they focus on the realism of the drama itself aka serious and realistic..
Compared to other dramas where the focus is on the idols aka non-serious and unrealistic dramas..

I'm a bit confused by the title, wasn't there like a mini-drama from Meteor Garden that was also called Meteor Rain which showed the stories of the other F4 characters?
I'm excited for this, but subconsciusly I think the government might throw in some 'study hard" propaganda because the original Meteor Garden was banned from China because tey thought it would be a bad influence.

Yes, there was Meteor Rain. The title is confusing and I hope they change it.

Meteor Garden was banned nearly ten years ago, and China's changed a lot since then.

Furthermore, this is backed by Hunan TV, not one of the state-sponsored CCTV channels.

But yes, it will still be inspirational. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

I hope people will wait to judge on this, instead of bashing it because they like certain versions a lot. I gave all of the previous versions at least four episodes before I stopped watching them (Japanese version excluded bc that one was good).
